check your plug and is it primed

 

[Tmaxx96]

the engine is a TRX 2.5 too if that helps and yes it is primed but sounds like its not getting enough gas

 

[Suicide]

does it kinda stutter before it starts

Check your two fuel tubing hoses. Make sure they are clean and your exhaust has pressure meaning there is no leaks. Make sure your coupler where the exhaust and the manifold pipe meet are in good and tight condition. Try adjusting your Carb needles.

Do you still use the blue wire on the easy start system?

If you have a glow igniter try removing the blue wire and using the igniter instead. I used to always have trouble starting my truck when using the blue wire because it would flood out every time before the plug got hot enough. Since I swapped to using an igniter it fires up in a couple taps of the ez-start button and my battery lasts a lot longer.

thnax ill try it

TO SUICIDE Yes it studers alot too

The Igniter idea is a good one. when I used the ez start I removed that blue wire REAL fast. It also preserves your battery. Then, I got sick of the battery, and got a pull starter
